simzee47 Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Hi All, Our FLX 48S desk has only 1 Universe. Before the latest update there was a way of using the Universe outputs as a DMX splitter which I had set via instructions from this forum. I used the 5 pin output to feed the dimmer rack and the 3 pin to run on-stage fixtures and all worked fine. Since the update I don't seem to be able to do this. I tried changing the Output of Universe 2 to Output 1 but it says this is already being used by Universe 1. Is the feature I had used before been removed from the latest software release?

kgallen Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 You will have to remove Output 2 from Universe 2 first. Then use Add in Universe 1 to add Output 2. In fact the limitation is on number of DMX addresses so if you have a 1 universe console you have a 512 DMX address limit and you could spread those anywhere across 64 universes (silly I realise). So you could use Output 1 with Universe 1 and Output 2 with Universe 2 if you wanted so long as you didn't have more than 512 DMX addresses patched across both Universes. What you want to do is usually what I do - 1 universe output over two connectors - 1 output to the dimmers and 1 output to the DMX chain around the LED fixtures. After a desk reset, Universe 2 will have Output 2 assigned: Click on "Output 2". Then click Remove on this screen: Universe 2 will end up looking like this: In Universe 1, click Add then type 2 to add Output 2 to Universe 1: 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simzee47 Posted May 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 Many Thanks. When I got home from the Theatre yesterday I thought about it and realised what I hadn't tried which is exactly what you've described. I'm on it.😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
